Hi to all,
Just finished the ARRL RTTY Roundup with my somewhat new K3. It hauled the load this time without a drop of sweat. In early December while in another RTTY contest it developed Hi Cur warnings. That with a DSP board being DOA when I built the radio in September and the noise issue I was ready to heave it out the window.
Elecraft in an amazing show of Customer Support took the radio into their care and found a defective final transistor in the LPA causing the Hi Cur warning. With all the discussion about noise issues here on the reflector I've found a combination of settings that makes the noise much more tolerable. Oh BTW, they replaced the DOA DSP board pronto.
After a rough start I'm looking forward a long and happy coexistence with my K3. My personal thanks to all the gang at Elecraft for their support when the future of this radio wasn't looking too bright. As a show of my gratitude and confidence in the radio I've ordered a KDVR3 to replace my external DVK.
Have a good day and 73.
Jim, W0EM
